The impact of globalization on regional development and competitiveness: cases of selected regions

2019

International audience; The objective of this study is to conduct an analysis of regional development and competitiveness in the EU and Latvia under current conditions of economic globalization. This paper makes an attempt to evaluate a theory of regional development and regional competitiveness concept in relation to regional competitiveness in the light of current global economic changes. The authors emphasise that the regional development is based on competitive advantages, which has been a subject of fundamental research by Michal Porter and that serves as a basis for the current scientific methodology to assess competitiveness of regions and countries. The authors support a view of man…

Generation of social assets and sharing knowledge in a hybrid intentional community: pilot analysis from Latvia

2013

Generavimas socialinių lėšų ir iš anksto apgalvotų žinių dalinimas mišrioje bendruomenėje: bandomasis tyrimas Latvijoje. The present paper is an attempt to investigate the dynamics of social assets building and knowledge exchange among the members of an intentional community (the National Library of Latvia users’ community) based on a hybrid social infrastructure consisting of online and offline (face-to-face) links and communication channels. Although the theoretical framework is primarily based on the social capital theory, knowledge management studies and the theory of social categorization, insights from applied epistemology are also included. The proposed model hypothesizes a positive …

Sports practice, intercultural exchanges and citizenship: Integration through Judo

2012

El presente artículo presenta las dimensiones teóricas y metodológicas del 'Programa experimental de integración socioeducativa a través del judo' para jóvenes del barrio de Ruzafa en la ciudad de Valencia. El objetivo principal de dicho programa, que comenzó en octubre de 2008 y finalizó en junio de 2011, consistió en elaborar una guía didáctica para utilizar la práctica del judo como herramienta de socialización en el deporte y a través del deporte, prestando particular atención a la relación entre la práctica regular del judo, la inserción social y la construcción de ciudadanía a través de la convivencia intercultural. La investigación sociológica ha acompañado el proceso de diseño, real…

L'émergence de la notion de "pôle d'échanges" : entre interconnexion des réseaux et structuration des territoires

2008

This article explores the concept of " interchange station ", through an analysis terminology. The evolution of semantic networks nodes that we detail in this work, shows a more off their dual dimension to both network element and territory. Based on a literature review, this terminology will help clarify neighbours words used in different contexts. The article demonstrate that the emergence of the term " interchange station " and its equivalent " park and ride" makes sense in relation to the evolution of these devices. Indeed, the need to "appoint" those places complex demonstrates their importance in the organization of networks and urban functions (distribution of the habitat, activity, …

Quale disciplina per la violazione di norme internazionali?

2023

In this chapter the traditional legal issues concerning the legal regime which applies to international law violations are described, according to an original perspective. First of all, some specific problems (such as the place of fault and damage; the moment in which a violation can be considered as being committed, and the conditions governing such a commission; the role to be recognized to countermeasure in the general framework of the legal consequences of internationally wrongful acts, etc.) are solved, at variance with the mainstream opinion. Second: the elements of an internationally wrongful act as well as its legal effects are both examined with regard to the general regime and som…

Typology of pentad circulation anomalies over the Eastern Africa - Western Indian Ocean region, and their relationship with rainfall

2005

International audience; The aim of this study was to classify the most frequently observed atmospheric circula- tion anomaly patterns in eastern Africa and the adjacent Indian Ocean. As an example of the useful- ness of such a classification, the second objective was to test whether these patterns account for intraseasonal rainfall anomalies in the region. A partitioning algorithm, known as dynamical cluster analysis, was therefore applied to the zonal (U)and meridional (V)components of the wind anom- alies, obtained from the NCEP-NCAR Reanalysis R-2 at the pentad (5 d) timescale. The 3 geopoten- tial levels 850, 700 and 200 hPa were combined. Focus is on the transition seasons (March to Ma…

Interactions, spillovers de connaissance et croissance des villes européennes. Faut-il préférer la géographie, le climat institutionnel ou les réseau…

2013

Knowledge spillovers within urban economies are also sources of spillovers between cities. We examine how knowledge spillovers influenced the economic growth of 82 European metropolises over the 1990-2005 period. We model knowledge spillovers between cities on the basis of five specific interaction patterns based on geography, networks of multinational firms in advanced services, institutional climate and two combinations of these factors. Spatial models are estimated to detail the effects of growth factors in terms of spillovers and externalities. We show that spillovers are local rather than global and that interactions among cities accelerate the convergence process based on gross value …

The Evolution of Territorial Occupation:

2012

International audience; The analysis of territorial changes over time raises many methodological questions. Despite a very frequent use of spatial analysis methods, few works underline their methodological shortcomings. This paper considers a comparison and discussion of exploratory statistical methods (notably Ripley's K function and its derivatives). It is worth noting three parameters in archaeological spatial analysis: scale, quality and quantity of input data. Archaeological data are intrinsically heterogeneous. Therefore, our approach proposes a multiscalar process integrating heterogeneous data. We describe a range of methods for the description and analysis of heterogeneous spatial …

Economics of Knowledge and Emergent Qualitative Changes

Economics of Knowledge and Emergent Qualitative Changes The traditional economics has its barycentre on the static equilibrium and on the allocation of the scarce resources for alternative uses, on the linear rationality. The economics of knowledge founds instead, upon a reflexive rationality, that has a long run, that acts as dynamic force does not management inside the usual trade-off of resources. The economics of knowledge and the real economy are changing deeply, the subjectivities that are compared through the market and in institutions they become less impersonal and less deterministic. Persons are entrusted less to the automatism of machines or organizational and they discover the r…
